[parisc-linux] If this is the last message you see

[Daniel Coletti]

Hi,
	I am trying to install Debian on a HP-9000 D370. The booting works 
fine, I interacted a lot with the HP IPL and got it to boot from the CD 
and everything.
It boots, but is this very nice message at the bottom of my serial 
console terminal that says ``If this is the last message you see [...] 
check the FAQ and/or mailing lists´´. Well, I have and found no answer 
for my problem.
I did try a lot of different devices on the kernel booting line, 
parameter "console=" to be precise.

ttyS0, ttyS1, tty0, tty1, and other things that I saw other people tried.

Am I pointing to the right direction? or I have to change something 
else? What other values can I try?

thanks a lot.

Shouldn't that be ttyB0 if it's using the mux driver?

Wasn't there a goofy card that needs to be removed from D-class
in order for parisc-linux to work properly?
Search the parisc-linux mail archive for "remove management card"
or variants of that.

Actually no:

See
http://www.pateam.org/parisc-linux-boot/PA-RISC-Linux-Boot-HOWTO/hardw
are.html

"D class works unless you have a Remote Management Card installed.
Even then, it still kind of works, it's just that ttyS0 gets assigned
to the second serial port and you have to switch cables around."

HTH

T-Bone, still planning a release of the updated howto ;)

I would like to ask if your serial console it's connected to a buitin ser=
ial
port?
On D model it exists a additional 'remote access card' (a serial console
too) which I had to remove because broken but I am not sure it's supporte=
d?
It was also recommened to remove all other additonal card to test first ;=

hth,

thanks, that was it ... I did have to change the console= parameter
because it defaults to ttyB0 and does not work (ttyS0 does in the Serial
port no. 2).
Now I have problems with term emulation (I have a hp 700/96 terminal),
nothing a serial cable with minicom can't handle.

thanks again,

mmm (i don't have such device nor user guide near hand so I couldn't expl=
ain
how) but you can change the emulation of your physical terminal (hp 700/9=
6)
to vt100 or vt102 ;-)
